Traffic congestion continues to be a major problem at the Jatrabari entry point in Dhaka, despite improvements in inter-district connectivity. Each day, vehicles from around 40 districts enter the city via the Mayor Hanif Flyover and surrounding roads. The area experiences heavy gridlock caused by poor road design, insufficient traffic management, and frequent violations of traffic rules.
The ongoing congestion disrupts the flow of vehicles and causes delays for commuters and transport operators. Efforts to address these issues have so far been inadequate, leading to daily traffic jams that affect the overall efficiency of Dhaka’s transportation network.
**Why this matters**
Jatrabari serves as a critical gateway for vehicles entering Dhaka from multiple districts, making smooth traffic flow essential for the city’s connectivity and economy. Persistent congestion not only increases travel time but also contributes to pollution and impacts the daily lives of thousands of commuters. Addressing these challenges is important for improving urban mobility and reducing transportation-related stress in Dhaka.
